[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.9 09/23] batman-adv: fix hardif_neigh refcount on queue_work() failure

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Mon Oct 08 2018 - 11:30:24 EST


From: Marek Lindner <mareklindner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 4c4af6900844ab04c9434c972021d7b48610e06a ]

The hardif_neigh refcounter is to be decreased by the queued work and
currently is never decreased if the queue_work() call fails.
Fix by checking the queue_work() return value and decrease refcount
if necessary.
